Buyer Qualifications

About Buyer Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in enrolling as a buyer on IndieMe. We aim to make approval as quick and easy as possible. Because IndieMe is a wholesale-only marketplace, our artists expect to work with qualified retail buyers.

During enrollment, you’ll provide basic business information and verification materials (listed below). To speed things up, we recommend gathering your documents and/or photos before you begin so you can upload them during enrollment or email them to us afterward.

Buyer enrollment and verification

Storefront Retailers

Fastest approval: upload the following during enrollment:

  • Photo of the inside of your store (required)
  • Photo of the outside of your store including your store sign (required)
  • Buyer profile photo (optional, used on your buyer profile shared with artists)

Prefer not to upload? You may provide your website link or business social media links (Facebook/Instagram) that clearly show storefront images. We can often qualify storefront retailers from those images, but uploading photos is the quickest option.
